Biography

People's Artist Nguyễn Đăng Bảy (b. Bắc Ninh province, 1/1/1923 - 6/2007) was a Vietnamese cinematographer. He began filming documentaries reporting the wartime activities of Hồ Chí Minh, after being given a camera in 1949 by his office. Afterwards, in 1960, he participated in his first feature film "The Construction Girl" (Cô gái công trường). The next year, his work in "The Passerine Bird" (Con chim vành khuyên, d.

Nguyễn Đăng Bảy won this award again at the next festival in 1975 for the film "We'll Be Seeing Us Again" (Đến hẹn lại lên, d. Trần Vũ, 1974). In total, he was the director of photography in over 30 feature films, including "Rising Storm" (Nổi gió, d. Huy Thành & Lê Huyến, 1966); "Mrs. Dau" (Chị Dậu, d.
